June: Brexit: What it means for food and drink manufacturers

As food and drink manufacturers study the impact of British voters’ historic decision to quit the EU, we explored how the vote might impact on the sector’s prosperity, based on the predictions of two leading campaigners – on either side of the argument – who set out their views in articles written exclusively for FoodManufacture.co.uk.

Leading Brexit campaigner Owen Paterson, Conservative Member of Parliament for North Shropshire and former secretary of state at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, explained how food and drink manufacturers would benefit from Brexit.

Meanwhile, arguing for the UK to remain within the EU, Sir Stuart Rose, chairman of Britain Stronger in Europe and former executive chairman of Marks & Spencer, highlighted the benefits of maintaining access to the EU market of 500M customers.
